Chapter 286 Eat on your own terms
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and originally wanted Qiu Shangwei to bring a message to the inn, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
The Qianfu tree attracts attention, Qiu Shangwei is also very eye-catching, and Mr. Mo and others are in the dark, maybe they have been targeted.
In this case, it is better to brake statically.
"No need to trouble Madam. If there is nothing else, it would be better for Madam to go out less often."
"Okay, thank you Princess for the tip."
Qiu Shangwei led people away, while Yan Ruyu was thoughtful.
Huo Changhe asked: "What's wrong?"
"My lord, have you ever used that kind of cloud ink?"
Huo Changhe smiled slightly: "I'm ashamed, I haven't used it. That kind of thing is precious. I usually just write military reports and memorials, so I don't need those.
However, I did buy two pieces for Changxu. He was very happy and used them sparingly. It seemed that there was still one piece left, which was probably left in the palace. "
Yan Ruyu nodded, and the two were about to walk back when she accidentally turned back and looked at the water in the distance.
This is the other side of the artificial lake, which is not the same angle as when the housekeeper took them around.
Yan Ruyu stared at the lonely pavilion and felt that something was not right.
Huo Changhe asked: "What's wrong?"
"Prince, look at that pavilion," Yan Ruyu raised her chin and pointed.
Huo Changhe looked over and looked carefully. The sun was shining, the water surface was swaying, and the pavilion was reflected on it. The scenery looked more beautiful than when he came back last time.
It's just that... in Yan Ruyu's words, it still doesn't quite match.
"What?" Huo Changhe frowned, "It's no different from last time."
"But the location we stood at is different from last time," Yan Ruyu said, "Why is this pavilion the same?"
Huo Changhe's eyebrows twitched slightly: "You mean..."
"It's very possible," Yan Ruyu nodded.
"Go and have a look."
At this moment, there were not many soldiers in the mansion, and they were all dispatched by the governor. For them, the few servants who occasionally passed by were a piece of cake.
When they arrived at the lake, Yan Ruyu was even more sure that the angle of the pavilion had indeed changed.
She had drawn it on paper since she went back last time, so she was deeply impressed.
Huo Changhe looked carefully and saw something different: "It seems that the whole pavilion is alive and can rotate."
It sounds scary to say this, but it is true.
Yan Ruyu thought for a while: "Maybe it's a mechanism or something else important."
"It's too conspicuous now. There is no cover around this place. If we go up, we will be discovered soon," Huo Changhe said in a low voice, "It is better to come back later."
"Okay," Yan Ruyu is not brainless and stubborn, and will not put herself in danger.
Just as he was about to leave, someone asked: "What are you doing here?"
The two of them turned around calmly. The eldest son Chengkang was standing not far away, looking at them coldly.
Yan Ruyu said in her heart that they were really enemies.
The person who dislikes them the most in this house is Chengkang. After hiding here and there, they still meet him.
"Nothing to do, just take a look," Yan Ruyu said calmly.
Anyway, they don't like each other, and there's no point in pretending to be affectionate. The main theme is that a person who pisses people off will not pay for his life.
Sure enough, Chengkang's face turned a little dark immediately: "Just take a look? This is the Governor's Mansion, is it a place where you can take a look casually?"
"Isn't it?" Yan Ruyu was surprised, "The housekeeper has brought us here before, on the order of the governor, saying he wanted us to walk around and take a look.
This is not the first time for us to come to this lake. The scenery here is pleasant, with clear water and beautiful trees. We want to see it again. What's wrong? "
Chengkang frowned and looked at him: "You are very eloquent."
"Of course, if you don't have good eloquence, if you meet someone with a vicious mouth, wouldn't you be criticized to death?"
"..." Chengkang was a little annoyed, "I told you last time to let you leave."
"You said it, but your father also said, let us stay, it's dangerous outside. Who do you think we should listen to, Master?"
Yan Ruyu pointed her finger at her forehead: "Why don't you go and talk to your father to let us go? Oh, by the way, I forgot. Your father said that you are going back to the academy today, why haven't you left yet?"
Chengkang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "This is my home!"
"I didn't say it was our family," Yan Ruyu looked at Huo Changhe: "Isn't that right, brother?"
"Yes, we never said that," Huo Changhe nodded seriously.
Chengkang: "..."
"Oh, by the way, your father-in-law also came to us and said that he was very interested in our prayer ceremony and wanted us to do it again," Yan Ruyu smiled, "in order to find the eldest son's younger brother."
Chengkang's face changed slightly.
"However, we did not agree. The eldest son looks down on our ceremony, so we are not willing to do it so as not to consume too much energy."
Chengkang gave a short laugh: "What's the point of wasting a little energy? Now, haven't you gained my father's trust? It's worth it."
"Then what to say," Yan Ruyu said disapprovingly, "My eldest son, not everyone wants to curry favor with the governor's office or you and your son. Don't think too highly of yourself. After all, we have to rely on our own ability to make a living."
Chengkang was in disbelief: "You said I relied on my father?!"
Huo Changhe said: "We didn't say anything."
It's what you think about.
Yan Ruyu said calmly: "Since the eldest son likes it here, then you can stay here. We will go elsewhere and won't compete with you."
Chengkang's nose was almost crooked with anger. Why don't you argue with him? This is his home, who does he need to fight with?
Yan Ruyu passed by him, and when she passed by him, there was a faint fragrance of ink on his body.
Yunmo is indeed the best among the inks, and Chengkang has been using it all the time and has never used any other.
Chengkang saw the two of them walking away, and his anger arose in his heart. He was so arrogant!
He angrily went to find the governor, but met Liu Guanjia on the way: "Where is my father?"
"Something has happened, sir. Is the eldest son here to say goodbye to you?" Housekeeper Liu took out a few banknotes and said, "My lord has asked you to take this with you when the eldest son returns to the academy."
Chengkang looked down at the banknotes but didn't take them: "It's banknotes again! What else would he do besides giving me banknotes?"
Butler Liu didn't dare to accept this.
"My eldest son, it's getting late, so you should pack up and go back to the academy early! Your Excellency is in good health, and I know your filial piety, but you should put your studies first."
Chengkang sneered: "What? I can't stay in my own house anymore, and everyone wants to drive me away?"
Before Butler Liu could answer, he turned around and strode away.
Butler Liu sighed and hurried out to do errands.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned to the courtyard. All the way back, she was thinking about the pavilion.
"Chengkang is a proud and arrogant person, so don't pay attention to him," Huo Changhe said.
"Huh? He's just a high-spirited scholar. I didn't take him to heart at all," Yan Ruyu said calmly, "I was thinking about that pavilion."
"Your Majesty, there is something, do you still remember?"
"what's up?"
